Creative ways to store make-up this 2013

Are you done with your spring-cleaning to welcome new things in 2013? :)(Some tips from my previous post here) The neat freak inside of me just can’t resist sharing to you these time and space efficiency tips! I hope you find this useful. We’re busy cleaning our houses, kitchen and backyards and forget our makeup stash! I’m sharing how to organize stuff while still being creative.

Time to discard the ones from last year and toss out the expired ones! (A read on makeup expiry and tips from Bath and Wind) My makeup artist friend told me, makeup that aren’t used for a year should be tossed out as well! (Sucks I know ^^) Old makeup is breeding ground for bacteria. I have been the lipgloss-only-sunblock type of girl (and some wash-and-run regimen here…), so it’s really a waste to trash makeup. So I guess this year, I’d be more vigilant. Stick to the nudes / organic and just give away stuff I know I couldn’t handle- like that bright neon eyeshadow over there. LOL

“If you don’t use it…time to lose it!”

Been online shopping for storage stuff lately and came across these nice cheap deals of makeup storages in Manila. For ordinary girls (non makeup professionals like me), it’s still best to keep some organization from our limited collection. No need for makeup train cases, here are my fun creative ways to store makeup.

BUY or MAKE YOUR OWN MAKEUP STORAGE

1. Get these nice acrylic storage boxes from a favorite supplier here in Manila: Miss Bella. Powder plastic jars can be bought from InsidemyCloset. I have seen some cheap storages in SM Makati as well.

3. Make use of Mason Jars. Mason Jars are hard to find in Manila. You may check Mycloset or you may visit WalterMart, Ace HardWare, Handyman for accessible ones. If you have time you can check American surplus shops around Rizal Avenue, Recto. Just make sure to boil and clean them. Lately I’ve seen a lot of Mason Jar supplies in SM Department Stores too. I think that’s easier and convenient. Let me know if you have other ideas!

7. Plastic containers from Japan Home are good. You can label them creatively.

8. Professional Cheap Cases. If you are the highly organized travel freak and wants to bring a lot of makeup stash on your travels and fashion shoots, I really love Dashe Cosmetic Train Cases or visit Pure Beauty Serendra. I saw some cool stuff there.

9. Make use of available wine racks.

Well it’s up to you how you like the storing done. You may

JAZZ it up like the ideas above or keep it clean and simple! :)

While you’re there organizing here’s a nice visual from Bath and Wind:
